Looking at getting a set of lighter alloys in 15'' on the Cup, atm im running 15's that are an et36. Just wondered if there is any downsides to having a lower offset other than rubbing on the arches.

I've got a set of 3 point harness' for my Cobra Daytonas. Now I thought it was fine to use harness' on any bucket seat but i've heard that it's not a good idea on a recliner bucket as it isn't reinforced like a fixed back bucket and in an accident could potentially snap the seat?
If anyone...
Gave the Cup a clean today and went out to take some pictures... Also got some pictures of my induction set up, seems to work really well with no flat spots. Even tested inlet temperatures before, during and after driving and was quite happy with the results...
My...
So after spending a lot of money making sure my car is up to scratch, I think i'm ready for my first trackday... Now what is the best way to get booked onto doing a trackday? I've heard of Motorvision but do you just order it, turn up and do it? Is there any other companies that you book track...
Just a random thing I was thinking about as I was looking at my V5.... I'm the 2nd owner of my Cup and its on 91,000 miles now with a full Renault/Specialist history.
Just wondered how many owners your car has had and what milage goes with it?

Just a few random ones I have got within the month, other than getting all the bodywork imperfections and a couple of small things sorted (silver rear diamond, clear side repeaters and silvervisions) I think I have got the car how I want it now for the exterior!
Still got...
Anyone know of one? The baffles in my Yozzasport backbox are breaking up so I thought if there is a place near by that can use the flange and the tip with a new box.
Any help?

Been looking at Insurance qoutes for my car as it runs out soon... Been looking for guide prices on GoCompare and Comparethemarket.com and the best quote I got was from Admiral for £989. Thought i'd see what Brentacre could insure me for with the possiblity of some modifications.... £939 with a...
Well i've known for a while that there has been a little bit of play in the track rods on my car, so I ordered brand new track rods and ends for both sides from GSF. They gave me ones for the TRW rack as thats all they stocked for my 172 Cup, Dave from Rentech also said that most cups came with...
And all I can say is how amazing the paintwork is now! Theres only a few that have felt the paintwork on my car which pretty much the whole car was covered in overspray and was rougher than 1500 grit sand paper! Took my friend about an hour to do the whole car and words still can't describe how...
Don't know if this is in the right section or not to be honest, but I have purchased a new set of engine mounts and a dog bone mount for my car as the ones on it are definately worse for wear. I just wondered if there is anyone around the Surrey area that could change them over for me as I do...
So after having the wheels refurbished and getting some standard badges back on the car, I thought i'd get some new shots...
Oh and before anyone replies with "Oh following the crowd", "Boring", "Sheep" etc etc, I don't care! ;)

How do I go about getting rid of it? Ive had the car about 8 months now and ive polished/waxed/t-cutted it and it doesn't seem to get any better. Really wanting nice shiny/soft paintwork for the summer. Does it need pc'ing or whatever its called?
Cheers

Before anyone say I have used the search button serveral times with this search but still not found anything conclusive for what i need....
Well as my Turinis are away for a refurb and the tyres were getting near there markers, ive been on the look for a full set of new tyres. Pretty much i'm...
Do you know if you can get them? Spoke to my friend at Renault and he didnt know. Think they would look really good especially with the air intake on one fo them? Maybe Icarus could help with this?

Hi all,
Looking to get my 172 Cup serviced on payday as it has slightly past 82,000 miles (85,500ish:o). My car has a full Renault service with every single reciept from them services. I was just wondering, Renault have quoted my just short of £200 to have it done, but do you think that i can...
One in Horsham, with turinis on. And the other on the A281, waved but no wave back. Had cup pack wheels on it, dont know why everyone ive driven past seems to be miserable:rasp:
So i was bored yesterday, so gave my mate a call again with his Digital Slr and went to take some new pictures.
Then went to london afterwards...
These are just a pick of the crop, took at least 175 pictures yesterday over about 8 hours!

Been thinking about tinkering with the Indutction system, ive eventually found out where the acoustic valve is, so im going to take that out and replace the air feed there with a better/larger one for better air flow.
But what size air ducting have you guys used, and where did you get it from...
Saw a black 182 with an exhaust and a Ktec-racing sticker, and a lovely rb 197 with speedlines i think and a yozzasport sticker on the corner on the bonnet.
Nick
Is it possible? As the other day i'd see if my mint williams interior would fit in the cup because the seats are shite! only problem was that the mk2 subframes have to have all four bolts underneath the car and the mk1's half an half...
Any help would be much appreciated..

Firstly Merry Christmas to All!
So as you do on Christmas day i got really bored so i treated the cup to a little clean as it was hanging! Later on in the evening i got a call from a mate saying he had got some digital slr camera and wanted to have a play with it! Heres some of the decent...
As above spotted a few times today by heatherwood hospital in Ascot, with Oz turbo's? (very nice wheels!) Also caught it towing a yellow Ibiza Cupra. I was the BT guy freezing his bo*%ocks off on the roundabout!

So heres my reasonably new 172 Cup! Competely standard when i purchased it in July.
Since then ive purchased some Ktr carbon fibre door pillars and some new badges from Renault to go over the top of the carbon.
I also brought a 197 Cup badge for the back, a subtle touch which...
